2013 Gramona Argent Mas Escorpi Brut Corpinnat

A revolution in Cava, the 2013 Argent Brut was one of the first modern wines produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes; it has only five grams of sugar and very high acidity, so the wine feels fresh and not sweet at all. Chardonnay is the first grape harvested in the zone because it ripens very early, so the variety escaped the problems of rain and botrytis that marked the vintage. Thus, the wine has the freshness and the positive side of the cooler year and avoided the challenges. This is one of the finest vintages of this wine. It's clean, modern, expressive and very easy to drink, with just a mellow note on the finish. It's very approachable and pleasurable. 9,800 bottles produced.
